John's Story

In 2006, we purchased an old historic home here in Columbus to convert into a bed and breakfast. However, the demands on the restoration and the demands of our jobs forced us to forsake that goal. This past April, we bought a smaller home which affords us the opportunity to do some restoration, but without the backbreaking work it takes to convert to a bed and breakfast.
Life has been good, not always fair, but good.
